Herm Edwards: Dennis Allen has Chicago Bears’ defense playing sound football
The latest Bears Banter has dropped! The Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, and Case Keenum turned in a memorable performance. The Bears have the New York Jets on deck as they try to move to 3-1. Who better to talk to about the Eagles and the Jets and how Ben […]
NFL Week 4 Game Preview: Chicago Bears vs. New York Jets
Coming off a short week, the Chicago Bears will have to decide which backup quarterback they want to start against the New York Jets. Whoever it is, Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum, they will have a tough act to follow. And a tough defense to play against. The Jets are 1-2, but are much more […]
Case Keenum Week 3 QB Grade: Eagles @ Bears Film Breakdown
Note: You may notice another new name included in my QB grades/metrics. This may explain why… Well, when I said last week that whoever started against the Philadelphia Eagles would get the same treatment here, I partially didn’t expect that quarterback to be Case Keenum. The Bears entered Week 3 with about as much uncertainty […]
Our first month with an app broke our commenting records
A month ago we announced the release of our new app, which you can find here or by searching SB Nation in your neighborhood app store. Quite a few of you have downloaded it over the past month and have been using it. The goal with this app was to make it easier to join […]
Chicago Bears Big Play Breakdowns from Week 3
I think we can all agree that Ben Johnson’s game plan for Week 3 was perfect for Case Keenum. It wasn’t a particularly explosive game plan, but it was perfect for the spot start on Monday Night Football. Only four explosives from the primetime tilt to discuss this week. Explosive Play 3.1 – Q2 6:14, […]
Bears-Eagles Upon Further Review: A Closer Look at the Referees
Hello Chicago Bears fans! Well, this is more like it. A look at the referees in a game the Chicago Bears dominated against the Philadelphia Eagles behind QB3, Case Keenum. Welcome back to Upon Further Review, the in-season series on the striped ones, the zebras, the arbiters of the yellow flag. Week 3 was Monday […]
Chicago Bears News: Kyler Gordon is back at Halas Hall plus the news of the day
We have a Kyler Gordon sighting! Gordon was back at Halas Hall for the Chicago Bears’ Wednesday’s walk-through practice, and his 21 day window for activation opened up. Don’t expect him to be an instant starter however, he still appears to be deep in Ben Johnson & Dennis Allen’s doghouse. While fans and media debate […]
Chicago Bears Offensive Line Analysis vs. Eagles
While most expected Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson to dust off the same run-heavy game plan he used last year against the Philadelphia Eagles, he pivoted to a quick passing attack that seemed to keep Philly off balance. It was brilliant strategy, as Vic Fangio and the Eagles likely didn’t expect it, especially with […]
Chicago Bears Discussion: Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent? Jets Preview
Welcome to the latest episode of Bears Over Beers! This week, join our hosts Ryan Droste and Bryan Orenchuk as they catch up once again and get ready for the fourth Bears game of the regular season! The Chicago Bears have a QB controversy on their hands. Will Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent start this […]
Bears defense looking to build on strong turnaround entering Week 4
There was widespread offseason speculation that the Chicago Bears defense would be a bottom-10 unit this season. The defense was also viewed as a top regression candidate, particularly because of the amount of turnovers they produced last season. Those concerns seemed valid after Week 1, when the defense gave up 37 points and 478 yards […]
Kyler Gordon Activated From PUP, Practice Window Open
The Chicago Bears activated CB Kyler Gordon from the PUP (physically unable to perform) list on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window and paving the way for a return to the field. This does not mean that Gordon will play this weekend against the New York Jets. Gordon was required to miss the first four […]
3 Reasons Why the Chicago Bears Won vs. the Philadelphia Eagles
Welcome back to the third installment of my new series for the 2026 season, where I recap what I believe were the three reasons the Chicago Bears won or lost the previous game. In week 3, the Bears hosted the 2-0 Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night in front of a national audience and played inspired […]
10 Thoughts on the NFL, Week 3 Edition: All Hail Case Keenum
1. If that Monday Night Football game was a “true team loss” for the Philadelphia Eagles, it was no less of a “true team win” for the Chicago Bears. Head coach Ben Johnson actually had ESPN color analyst Troy Aikman saying NFL teams would take what Case Keenum—a guy who is now on his eighth […]
Chicago Bears Midweek Musings: Phenomenal
Some random thoughts about the Chicago Bears and other things, mostly football-related as we count down the hours until we get to watch this team play football again: I thought Week 3 was phenomenal. Started with a convincing Packers loss and ended with a convincing Bears win. Can it get any better? We’re three weeks […]
Bears Question of the Day: Should Bagent or Keenum start vs. the Jets?
Where were you for “The Case Keenum” game? This is one we are going to remember for years as Bears fans. A 38-year-old QB who was basically brought on as QB3 so he could be an assistant QB coach to Caleb Williams. A player who has admitted he was about to retire until Ben Johnson […]
Chicago Bears News: Case Keenum Mania hits, but does he start next week?
Case Keenum has made himself a Chicago Bears Legend with his strong game against a good Philadelphia Eagles team, and despite the fact that many members of the media are telling coach Ben Johnson what he “must do” the coach himself hasn’t announced his plans for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Johnson may […]
Are you confident in the Bears and their quarterback room?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bears fans and fans across the country. Now that’s more like it! After having everything that could go wrong go wrong in the rain against the Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Bears got back […]
Chicago Bears Week 4 power rankings roundup
As the Chicago Bears move into week 4 and the first “quarter” of the season wraps up, it’s a good time to take stock of where they stand. While the season is no longer divisible by four, like in the 16-game season era, it’s still a good spot to stop and reflect on where the […]
Bears outplay and outcoach the Eagles
The NFL scriptwriters were like, ‘You thought the 2025 Chicago Bears season was a fun ride; wait till you get a load of what we got cooked up in 2026!’ Such a dramatic start to the season for the Bears, but last night’s game would feel right at home as the backdrop of a cheesy Hallmark […]
Bears vs. Eagles Game Balls: Keenum Shines, Defense Has Hope
Eights days after an injury to the team’s starting quarterback, and with thoughts of a possible lost season tormenting fans, the Chicago Bears set out on Monday Night Football to remind everyone that their championship aspirations are going nowhere. In one of the most impressive games of the Ben Johnson era, the Bears annihilated the […]
10 Bears Takes: A Ben Johnson First, Case Keenum’s Legendary Night, and more
To put it mildly, last Sunday was nothing short of an early-season disaster for the Chicago Bears. Not only did they lose a game they had multiple chances to win, but they also lost starting quarterback Caleb Williams for the next three to four weeks. As if that wasn’t complicated enough, there was plenty of […]
Hot Take Tuesday: The Case Keenum Game
What a phenomenal night. It was a game where Vegas, NFL experts nationwide, and even most (hand-raised) Chicagoans thought it was a long shot that the Chicago Bears could beat the Philadelphia Eagles without 18 in the backfield. We were wrong. I was wrong. In what can only be described as “the Case Keenum game,” […]
Chicago Bears Stock Watch: Keenum, Raymond shine in win over Eagles
Monday night’s game looked like an uphill battle earlier in the week. The Eagles came into Chicago 2-0 and the Chicago Bears were without their dynamic quarterback and their young backup. Starting a third-string quarterback, even at home, against a perennial playoff team is rarely a recipe for success. But as fans are beginning to […]
Don’t cancel the Chicago Bears’ season just yet
As someone who’s written a lot of articles and shared a lot of sports takes in my career, let me give you an invaluable piece of advice: Sometimes, it helps to wait a bit. Because the reality is, you don’t know what will happen. I know that concept gets lost in our “attention” economy, where […]
NFL Week 4 Power Rankings: Biggest September Surprises
With Week 3 wrapping up, the NFL will turn the calendar to October as it heads into Week 4. Although the opening month of the season is over, there’s still plenty to learn about all 32 teams around the NFL. Week 2 brought key quarterback injuries, leading to multiple backups making starts and further clouding […]
